It seems to go about a page and a half to two pages before switching. I think what they did was copy the books exactly, putting as many words per page as there are in the book (does this make sense? it's hard to explain). I assume they used the hardback version, since there seems to be pretty many words per page. Have it formatted in this way has made it act weird. For example, if I tell it to go to page so-and-so, sometimes it brings up the little circle in the middle with arrows and says "formatting." It never did this with other books.
And, since I'm in a listing mood, here are my questions:
1. Has this happened to anyone else?
2. If yes, what did you do/how long did it last?
3. Can I expect this to happen again?
4. Why did it happen (I don't know if anyone will know the answer to this).
Thanks.

It seems your duma key is an epub book. (which prompts the question, what format where the other books you already read on you reader?) Epub books have a set number of pages regardless of the font size you use, so sometimes a "page" spans three page turns, and you have pages with two page numbers, because the page changes right in the middle. Does it make sense? That's how epub works. It is practical if you want to reference a specific page, as it doesn't change with the font.
Now your reader seems to have frozen and then spontaneously reset itself, I don't know why. It has frozen on me once while reading, and the computer could not recognise it either. A reset solved the problem. It has only happened once or twice, so I wouldn't expect it to happen to you again soon. I don't believe it has anything to do with the book you're reading, but I couldn't be sure.
